KD to the Knicks part 2?

[NoDopeOnSundays]

Few people realize this but to trade for a 37 YO KD who makes 57 million next year....you either would need to trade the 29 YO KAT or all 3 of Bridges, Hart and Mitch Robinson to get close to KDs money.

And KD is a free agent at the end of next season


So there's a world in which we trade for him, and he leaves.

[The KnicksFix]

Why tf would we get KD?
He’s old and not what he once was

[Fury]

And Brunson in a Kobe role

Sabonis his Gasol, Giannis his Shaq at the same time… OG a rich man Rice/Fox/Ariza/Artest

Phil Jackson would say: can I come for free?!

You see the vision!!!

But...f*ck Phil! I never liked how he treated Carmelo

Karl for Giannis is fairly close money wise. Bridges makes 24.9, Sabonis 43. Youd need to add Hart at 19 and then it works.

We’re gonna end up with Thibs playing SG

sabonis ??????? y'all are disgusting

He is welcomed in a Spurs Micheal Finley role as a FA for the Tax payer MLE

Towns, McBride and two firsts for Jokic (real rumor)

Mikal (after the extension), Robinson and two pick swaps for Jaylen Brown

Grimes or Beasley for the tax payer mid level

Brunson / Kolek / Payne
Brown / Grimes / Shamet
Anunoby / Hart / McCullar
Durant / Dadiet / Achiuwa
Jokic / Hukporti / Moses

You want Karl outta here right? Trading him for Giannis will then require the team obtain a starting center.

Unless you feel comfortable with an always hurt Mitch being the only center on the roster?

Guys who still want LeDecision & KD remind of guys who go back to the ex GF or wife who treated them like **** in the past.

Highly doubt Bucks trade Giannis for KAT straight up. And if we have to add someone like OG while taking back a lesser player, it guts us and becomes too risky.

But even if they did do KAT for Giannis, I don’t think Sabonis would be the ideal guy… I’d look to sign Brook in FA. Dunno if the dude is gunna get big money at 37+ years old so with Giannis here you might have a shot at a discount. Mitch gotta go tho no matter what, he’s just too unreliable.

Brunson for KD

sabonis has the same defensive problems as kat with the added bonus that he doesn't really make 3s. to pair him with giannis is just a terrible idea

[god shammgod]

p.s. we're not getting giannis for kat. you might get kd because he's so old but who knows. when we traded for kat the market for him wasn't exactly robust.

Probably not, but maybe his value has gotten higher since he’s an all star starter (hopefully)

According to Marc stein, some teams think we got KAT so we can move him for Giannis. Maybe if we added in Mikal the Bucks will accept that.

“I’ve heard more than one rival team since the (Towns to the Knicks) trade, mind you, wonder aloud about whether having a player of Towns’ caliber on the roster for a potential future Antetokounmpo offer was among the Knicks’ motivations for giving in on their long-held reluctance to include Donte DiVincenzo in trade talks with the Timberwolves and push for that deal’s completion when they did on top of New York’s obvious need for a frontline center.” — Marc Stein

If we can’t get Giannis, I’ll gladly take on KD for KAT though

[Deeeez Knicks]

KD isn’t the right move for what the cost would be.

[MrDollarBills]

So Brook Lopez in the offseason then. Got it.

Lopez/KAT/OG/Mikal/Brunson

5 out spacing and rim protection.

Negotiation 101: start out with a high cost ask and then circle back to what you really wanted in the first place j/k

But look at this:

Lopez/Mitch
KAT/?
OG/Hart
Mikal/Deuce
Brunson/Kolek

I mean that's not bad at all. Especially if OG continues to be a consistent scorer like we've seen recently.

Having two 7 footers that space is probably going to be a serious problem for opposing clubs.

How would we get Brook

[MrDollarBills]

How would we get Brook

He's gonna be a free agent. At his age next season I dunno how much he'll cost tho.

That's why Leon makes the big bucks, he will have to figure it out

[NoDopeOnSundays]

How would we get Brook

He's a free agent, we're under the second apron so we have the non tax payer MLE, if we could get under the first we'd have the full MLE.

With KAT and Mitch we could treat him like how the Celtics treat Horford, keep his minutes in check during the regular season so he's ready for the playoffs.
